Over the past few days it has become a bit louder...not horrible though...still tollerable.
Going to make the run to chicago again this week so we'll see how it does on fuel economy on the trip again.

Still averaged 32mpg on the 1,000 mile round trip. consistently at 70mph with the a/c off.

Didn't increase economy, but also didn't decrease it so I am happy.

I do need to put on a rear section, its really quite at 3,000 rpm but I really think it will sound better with a rear section added on.
